Regionals at Hale

This is Cassie and Matthew before her 3200 meter and after his 1600 meter.This is the line up from behind the starting line. Cassie is the last runner to the right.

Happy, happy Cassie. 2 miles in 14 minutes and 35 seconds. It is a new personal best for her. I missed the cartwheel and the happy dance with the camera.

The trampoline

My sister has a trampoline in front of the house that enjoys much use. On Sunday Cassie decided to bounce.

She was having so much fun that Phil decided to join her.

Kaitlyn's graduation celebration

Happy graduation Kaitlyn!!! One more Badger on the planet.
The day was great and the company was fun. Who would believe that we were dodging hail 3 days earlier.
Aunt Carol gets better all the time.
Larry started perfect.

Eisenhower Prom

This is Cassie almost done. Cathy helped her up to this point and I finished the job when I got home from work. We put flowers from the Hale Prom in her hair for this prom. Notice the sheet over the chair? We learned about glitter last week.
The prom committee requires all participants to travel on the bus to the prom site. They hired 7 buses this year. All were underwritten through community donations.
Here are Cassie and Matthew ready for their second prom. There was a program in the auditorium that had all who were going to prom walk across the stage with their dates while being introduced.
Cassie and Matthew walking on stage. Below is his best friend Sean and Megan as the couple just after Cassie and Matthew.
Today, May 18, was warm and sunny. My beloved Wisconsin weather.

Phil and Larry in the kitchen

Larry spent his day sorting food donations at a post office. He posed for me when he came home. Phil is baking for the hospitality at church for tomorrow. It is Mother's day. Infact, he is still baking. The menu is sandwich cookies with ground coffee beans, cardanom streusel and a macadamian nut bar.
